1959 356 A 1600S Cabriolet

If your looking for 99% complete matching numbers 1959 356 A 1600S T2 Cabriolet to restore, this may be it. This is the last year of the A coupes and is sold with a clear Missouri Title. It’s a 1959 model year, built in 1958 and bodied by Reutter, Vin # 151464 and color code is 603 (white). I know the car isn't worth $99,356.00, I’m looking for serious offers though. This car restored is now selling for $170k plus. (Look all 400+ photos to see actual condition)

The car was stored outside at one point, but is now undercover. The prior owner removed the engine from the car and stored it inside. This almost complete car, less the rusted out areas, is also missing the pushrods, some engine tin, oil intake, radio, pistons & cylinders and valve covers. The original hardtop is rusted badly, the soft top frame is in decent condition and may be missing a buckle, I also purchased replacement chicken wing brackets for the soft top frame from Autos International. The door locks / latches aren’t keeping the doors closed. The original Kronprinz wheels are date stamped, one is ‘57 and three are ’58, currently I have spare rims on the car, I reserve the right to put the original rims back on prior to sale completion and keep the rims that are shown on the car.

The engine number is 83061 - 616/12 1600s and case number 27580/1600s and is correct for model year. Beside missing engine parts mentioned above, the pulley is cracked. The front windshield is also cracked, see photos. The interior and seat are complete, but rough. The tires have dry rot, but have newer inner tubes and also missing some lug nuts. Currently the car has no brakes as they have been disconnected. The steering wheel and horn button has a crack or is broken. The chrome on the front bumper overriders is very nice considering and the rear bumpers are broken along with tail lights. No Kardex or tool kit.

I have over 400 photos for you to look at, copy and paste links below.

Please ask all any any questions prior to bidding or making an offer and I’ll do my best to answer them. I’ve tried my best to describe this car accurately, but may have missed something, I have nothing to hide, that’s why I took so many photos. Again serious offers only !!

I will accept deposit only through Paypal of $1000, balance to be paid through wire transfer within 5 days. I reserve the right to end the auction as I have also advertised it on other websites as well as local. I’m a member of 356 Registry and belong to a local 356 club, so buy with confidence. The car is being SOLD AS-IS, WHERE IS, buyer responsible for transport.

6 car mashups that God never intended

Sat, May 17 2014

In the 2000s, the musical mashup genre saw a peak of popularity with releases like The Grey Album from Danger Mouse that mixed The Beatles and Jay-Z. UK artist James Pursey from Carwow decided to take the same concept of shoehorning two disparate things together but applied the concept to cars. Your opinion on the results will vary with your sense of humor. These creations are either some funny pieces of abstract art or absolute monstrosities that prove good design should be left alone. Likely the best of the bunch is the Lambotomic (pictured above), which combines a Lamborghini Miura and an Ariel Atom. Granted, the Ariel is little more than a skeleton to begin with, and the outcome looks like a slightly stretched Atom with the new nose and tail from one of the most beautiful vehicles ever. This could actually work. Though, not all of the mashups are quite so pleasant. The Porschiac WW RS (pictured right) is absolutely disgusting. It combines a Pontiac Aztek, which isn't a beauty queen to start with, and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Obviously, the 911 is an iconic shape in autonobolia, but that can't save it from the horror of the Aztek. Pursey fits the its nose, wheel, wing, roll cage and stripes onto the Pontiac. The outcome: A design that will show up in your nightmares. Check out the gallery for the rest of the mashups, including the Humi (a Humvee and a Mini), Aston Smartin (Aston Martin and Smart), Rangerini (Range Rover and Lamborghini Aventador) and the Mazdafenda (Mazda MX-5 Miata and Land Rover Defender). They might not all be beautiful (or even pretty), but it's fun to imagine these oddball creations actually driving down the road.

Evo pits BMW M3 against Porsche Macan in drag battle

Sun, 24 Aug 2014

If you want to move five passengers in very rapid fashion and you've got a $75,000 budget, two newly introduced four-door models immediately come to mind - both are the highest performing vehicles in their respective segments. But which is faster off the line, to the 60-mile-per-hour benchmark or flat-out over an even longer run? Evo took both to paved aircraft runway to find out.
In lane one we've got the all-new Porsche Macan Turbo, which boasts a twin-turbocharged, 3.6-liter V6 rated at 400 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. The Porsche is fitted with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, and the 4,244-pound crossover has the traction advantage of standard all-wheel drive. In lane two is the all-new BMW M3, powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six rated at 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. It is also equipped with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, but only the rear wheels of the 3,595-pound sedan are driven. Both the BMW and Porsche arrive with launch control, which helps to remove driver error off the line.
Which automaker's launch control system is better off the line? Does all-wheel-drive grip give the crossover the advantage it needs to overcome its adversary's power-to-weight advantage? Will aerodynamics factor into the results? Which would you put in your garage, and why? The video may surprise you.

Porsche 911 R, GT3 variant with manual trans, spotted

Thu, Oct 29 2015

The Porsche 911 GT3 is still a strong enthusiast choice in the 911 range, and the GT3 RS has gone more hardcore. But both versions are PDK-only. The upcoming Porsche 911 R, spied undergoing testing in Germany, is tipped to adopt the naturally aspirated engine from the aforementioned GT3, producing somewhere in the neighborhood of 475-500 horsepower. Only instead of an automated dual-clutch transmission, it'll feature a proper manual. Other changes are expected in the form of skinnier tires to provide less grip but a more approachable limit of adhesion. It may or may not feature a small ducktail spoiler at the back. We wouldn't be surprised to see it ditch the four-wheel steering system, either. Weissach may also give it some retro cues as well, but the question all those purists will be asking is how many Porsche will make. The last 911 R yielded only 22 examples way back in 1967. This time they'll have to make far more, but we wouldn't expect this particular version to be exactly what you might call "ubiquitous." No matter how rare, it'll definitely be the purist's choice.
